I've come here numerous times and never experienced any problems. They have good prices on their items, definitely not overpriced.

For example "I'll take eight pork steaks, two per package" and they pick out the eight best and wrapped them in freezer paper in pairs. It's a smaller neighborhood market from back when neighborhood markets were the norm. Their survival is a testament to quality and personalized service. It has the feel of my childhood, lots of selection in a small space with a friendly atmosphere. If you're close to Granite City plan a BBQ and head to Cionko's and give them a try.

It's all great. They also have a small section in the meat department with a rotating hot item or two such as sausages, kabobs, chicken tenders. Love grabbing anything from there!! They have a large fridge packed to the brim with every kind of premade salad you can imagine (pesto pasta, caprese, different potato salads, sweet salads, baked beans, bean salad... so much more and in different convenient sizes. There's cold cans of soda in a bin at checkout. Everyone is kind and helpful. Love this family owned local grocer!!

I barely got my words out before I was cut off. I could have easily bought something to get the change I needed but chose to move on.

The foodie in me is so glad this Asian supermarket exists!! I've come across a wide variety of…read moreAsian foods and goods in this store. They sell Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and goods from other Asian countries. I've recently found fresh and dry Asian noodles at the store for a cheap price, which cost 2-3x more money in other chain supermarkets like Walmart and Target, HUGE plus for World Market. What really took me off guard and surprised me was that they also make fresh and sell various boba tea and bubble waffles with and without ice cream.

Crying in HMart? Impossible in STL given that there isn't one here (@HMart I am begging you to open…read morehere), but World Market or Cho Quoc Te is a close alternative. Vietnamese/Asian supermarkets are very nostalgic to me from being the number one childhood activity with my mother, and World Market did not disappoint. Every bit of it screamed home to me, from the lingering smell of raw fish and plethora of seasonings to the 7356495 brands for the same jarred goods to the overfilled carts of every mom's meal prep for a family of 4+ for an entire week. The grocery store itself is about smaller to medium-sized and produce seemed okay. What was really fantastic about it was that it had a lot of other businesses incorporated inside of it -- a pharmacy, to-go food on the ready, a dessert bar, etc. I especially loved the premade meals, and they had great variety. Some notable mentions from picking up an assortment of things -- the pandan soymilk was solid; the che khoai mon (taro pudding) was good; the che banh lot (pandan and coconut milk starch pudding) was also good, and I appreciated that it was just banh lot with no extra accouterments; the pate chaud was surprisingly really good (not too peppery or salty, just perfectly buttery and flakey with the right amount of flavor). In addition to not having to hit triple digits for a small grocery run (which seems to be the case everywhere else), it was really nice having so many things available. I'll definitely be back here more often to try more of their premade dishes and for the serotonin.

A friend and I participated in a racquetball tournament up in the glorious city of Saint Louis…read more Upon arriving at our Air bnb, it was discovered we had no milk for our cereal in the morning - the obvious resolution to this problem was "let's go buy some milk" however, upon checking the time (9:33 PM) we realized all the ACTUAL stores that carry milk would be closing at 10 PM and we're outside the vicinity to make it in time. Desperation flooded our bodies like water cascading from a broken dam until I discovered Northway Supermarket - open 24 hours and only 3 minutes away! The gods had smiled upon our plight. We got into our vehicle and made the drive through the darkened streets until we arrived at the destination. Upon exiting the car, I saw multiple individuals of questionable character milling about, entering, and exiting the store. How can you say their character was questionable, you ask? Mostly due to the content of thier speech, the rambunctious music blaring from thier cars describing criminal acts and what they like doing to women, and the manner in which they presented themselves to the outside world in physical appearance/fashion. "AHA, you can't judge a book by its cover!" you yell at me. Yes. Yes I can. Jack and I tentivally entered the building. We were the only white people in the store and everyone instantly knew it. I felt 9 pairs of eyes (so 18 individual eyes) lock onto us (there was a long line at the register) and I swear someone said "you don't belong here, little boys" (maybe that was just my self consciousness, I'm not 100% sure). We sheepishly scampered through the isles, desperately looking for milk while trying to appear as alpha males to avoid any confrontation. The store has everything and anything you'd need - from wine, beer, juice flavors nobody has ever heard of, snacks of various kinds, half-naked mannequins draped with clothes no woman should wear to a whole make-up and eye lash section. I was certainly impressed! Could they pass a state health inspection? No. Could you buy 43 different flavors of wine? Yes, yes you could. We finally found the milk and headed to the register. While we were standing in line, I glanced back at the restaraunt/deli where a giant of a cook tiredly tried to cook something. A gentleman with less than impressive dreads locked eyes with me and drew a line across his throat. Confused, I looked back and he did it again! "I'm going to get knifed over a 1/2 gallon of milk" I thought. At that moment a gangster started yelling at the cashier that he WASN'T in fact a gangster and the only reason the store was there, was because the community WANTED them there and that "You need to treat people with some f*cking decency!" The poor cashier didn't know what he did - he didn't even speak English but apperntly he was used to this kind of behavior because he just rolled his eyes as the "non-gangster" grabbed his $2 ciga-rillo and stormed off. I paid $5 dollars for a blueberry muffin and a 1/2 gallon of milk. Jack and I left the store to the sound of yelling outside (I'm pretty sure there was a dog fight going on around the corner) and jumped in my car. I drove the wrong way down a one way street back to our Air bnb. The nice Chinese lady who ran the Air bnb cooked us fried rice (we had it for lunch the next day and it was delicious) and we went to bed and then drank the milk with our cereal in the morning and I ate the blueberry muffin - both the milk and muffin were delicious and filled me to satisfaction (Jack had 2 bowls of cereal). We then went and played racquetball at a club thriving off white privilege where we got beat by middle schoolers. I am giving the 3 out of 5 stars due to the trauma I experienced inside the store of seeing the half-naked mannequins. As we drift off to sleep with the medals of the "winner of the loser brackets" around our necks, we hear the not-distant sound of gunfire and I think to myself, "This has been fun, till next time Saint Louis."

It's very affordable compared to similar local/organic markets in the area as well, even if you don't have a membership (which I highly recommend purchasing). You get so much bang for your membership buck, and you keep everyone's prices down too! The selection isn't huge, but you have all of your staples as well as some extra goodies available. I love their meat and poultry selection in particular. The free range chicken breasts they have are the most tender and flavorful I've ever purchased! Never buying meat from Aldi again. Also, shoutout to the incredible fresh herbs they grow themselves! Although you generally have to schedule pickup a week or so out during this COVID period, City Greens' curbside shopping process is easy and felt extremely safe. You just fill out a form online, then show up to pay and pick up. You only interact with one staff members, there are no other customers during your pickup slot, and everyone is in proper PPE. I cannot wait to shop here regularly in person!
